Abstract: An asynchronous branching module (102) outputs transfer data received in accordance with a handshake protocol to any of branch destinations. An asynchronous arbitration module (101) merges transfer paths of the transfer data. A congestion detection module (111) receives an arbitration result signal from the asynchronous arbitration module (101) and outputs congestion information indicating presence/absence of congestion to a merge source. A congestion avoiding path calculation module (112) receives the congestion information and exclusively performs a process of storing the congestion information into a congestion information storage memory, and a process of making the asynchronous branching module (102) preferentially select, as a transfer branch destination, a branch destination generating no congestion information indicative of the presence of congestion from branch destinations leading to a destination, on the basis of the congestion information and the destination information of the transfer data.

Abstract: A spring retaining space that retains therein an arc spring has a predetermined curvature radius and attachment angle. The arc spring is flexed and retained in the spring retaining space, and thus the curvature radius of the arc spring becomes small, while the attachment angle of the arc spring becomes larger than a free angle. Accordingly, torsion stress with a negative sign is applied to a coil member forming the inner circumferential portion of the arc spring.
